I can't get into an anime that has no set plot :/ It just seems like a waste of my time if they get no where. Like, i understand it's suppose to be random and funny half the time..but..eh. Bobobo was random and senseless most of the time..but at least they had a goal they tried to reach throughout all the episodes.

Mecha also doesn't really appeal to me. I used to watch Gundam and Eureka 7 i loved..but..there's just too many for me to care about. It's always the same. Space. Big Robots to pilot. Robo-fighting. Bleh.

Im not a big fan of shoujo either. Most of the girls annoy me in there. They're either extremely needy, helpless/stupid or overly aggressive. And the guy always has to rescue her no matter what. Not all of it is like that...and i enjoyed Skip Beat, My Little Monster, and Chihayafuru. Kimi ni Todoke being my favorite since i could (and still can most of the time) relate to Sawako.

Shounen annoys me when its nothing but senseless stupid dragged on fighting or just unnecessary talking x.x wasting my time when its getting good >:C

I honestly enjoy watching/reading Shounen-Ai and Yaoi. I don't dislike Yuri, but its more on that fact i haven't found one that i want to watch/read yet. But im more than willing~

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide

should totally give me some yuri titles if you know any ;3

Ecchi is funny and good in moderation. But annoys me if there is no reason for it to be there >:l Yeah...im talking 'bout you HoTD(you were still good though)!

I don't really consider hentai a genre of anime...buuuut i ont get into that xD Harems are fun sometimes too c: as long as they aren't throwing themselves at the main character. Cause that's freaking annoying .__.

But other than that, its mostly the plot and characters that draw me in or away. And its rather easy for me to give up on an anime if the character development isn't all that good or things are happening too quickly or its way toooo predictable. Or just stupid things happening for no real damn reason.

I cant seem to get into mecha stuff either, I wish I could because giant robots fighting seems cool to me.

Maybe it's the storyline at goes along with some of the mecha shows is what's making us not like it so much. A few of them I like but it wasn't because of any of the mecha stuff (most likely a character(s)

Where some guy goes around fighting to "get stronger." I guess that's some paragon of manliness, because I sure don't get the appeal.

I find it amusing how many guys complain about "all those yaoi animes" out there. The MAL database has 45 pages of hentai, versus 3 pages of shounen-ai, and 2 pages of yaoi (and some of titles appear on both lists). There's only a wee bit less yuri/shoujo-ai than there is BL. Not that I'm defending anything, I just don't like sexism.

Don't care for most mecha or any blatantly sexual genre. And while I watch pretty much anything else, I notice myself looking for more slice-of-life series. (Gunslinger Girl remains my favorite series, but I just don't think you can make a more perfect anime than Usagi Drop.)

Fanservice shows, any anime based on a dating sim/visual novel, echii, and many gag series. I don't really watch hentai, yaoi, or yuri, but I'm sure I wouldn't really enjoy them either. Though, what I have seen of them is actually more laughable than unwatchable.
Not necessarily genres, but I'm not very fond of cliches or plotless series. I'm also not very interested in animes with minimal animation or very little use of visuals.
